Page 4: Molding, glueing Plexi

There are two ways to do this. You can cut it at the end, or cut it to shape before you start. I suggest doing it at the end, you never know if you cut too little until it is too late. With the molding, just feed it to the case, pushing very hard on it into the groove. There is glue there to hold the molding in place. Once your at the end, cut it longer than you think! Then snip it off until you can force it to fit snug with the adjacent side.

It is all simple from here. Remove one side of the film. You'll need to use the adhesive of your choice and glue the plexi to the molding. Do this on the outer portion of the molding so no glue shows through the window. When you have it all glued up, put the plexi on it, squared to the case side. All that is left to do is to smash it for a few hours. I used paint cans of equal weight to secure the glue, try not to put too much torque on the plexi, it can break. And equal amount of force on four corners will be fine. Let sit for a few hours.
